Everyone gets upset by this, and then there's AI scraping...

@Fritz167 You should run, Run, RUUUUNNNN, RUUUUNNNNNN, RUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

away from this

It feels like I might finish Hogwarts. Really enjoyed it. Boltgun or Death Stranding next? Maybe try some more Blue Prince

Loved Control. Really liked AW2

Really looking forward to this.

OK, good to know you can make the dodging/parry a bit easier. I hate Souls-like, because I'm old and useless.

I keep bouncing off JRPG style though, so I'll wait for a sale I think

Greater combat complexity
Greater side quest complexity

OK, so I'm reading "wait for a sale" from these replies

@LordGlarc OK, that's what I thought. Maybe I just suck

I've enjoyed Balatro but don't understand how you're meant to win. I've never made it to all of the blinds. I feel like I'm missing a core mechanic of the game or something.

I'll take a look at Boltgun. I'm all over the boomer-shooters (I'm an old *****)

Hogwarts. It is a happy fun game which we need more of these days. Rather enjoying the whole thing

There is no way GTA will be able to match the hype about it now. It is getting ludicrous

@CielloArc China has already been sub-contracting to Vietnam already. i.e. this has been happening for years.

Good to hear. I'm waiting on a sale, but I'll probably step into Shadows sooner than later

Too much shooter action will ruin any RP in the RPG part of this.

That being said, the original OW combat was janky AF IMO

Borderlands is boring. Tiny Tina was pretty fun, but fell into the same game loop and got boring as well.

I want a story based Titanfall. TF2 was awesome. Live service is killing so many IPs

@Steeleye50 because of difficulty, or story?

I'll take a look at some time. BG3 turned me towards turned based combat, but FF has never worked for me, so I'm not convinced. I'll wait for a sale

@Aniscape Yeah, a big map can be brilliant if it is used to create a country/nation/actual place that people live. As opposed to a space to copy and paste bandit camps into

Loved GoT, but bigger isn't needed. Slightly less ACness (or Far Cryness) would be better.

I completed most of GoT because the story was great and the Ronins were great. Once I maxed out my combat setup though it got samey.

Keen, but I'll wait for a sale. Way too many other things happening

BG3 has turned me towards turn based combat. I loved all my time with it.

I may go back one day, but my queue is already too long. That being said, I'm about to go back to Nier: Automata so it may happen

I understand why people don't dig BG3. Art is subjective

I played a fair bit of the first game and then just ran out of steam/interest. Shame really, because it was fun till it wasn't

The Skill Up guys did a great preview video discussing Marathon. They were basically on the side of: Bungie really knows how to create the shooter/gun play mechanic, and it's fun, but it just doesn't have the hook/loop to make it work

Personally I'm just not a PvP guy, so it'll probably be a no for me

@KundaliniRising333 I really liked her in the first season.

The issue is that Ellie the character is pretty unlikeable in TloU2. In game I mean

@AlexPorto I think it's just that the narrative structure of the game is very alien to a normal TV flow. i.e. massive focus change on character and tone half way through? Tricky for TV peeps to stick with that. In the game it's way easier to switch because you are playing those characters.

We shall see I guess, but I'm looking forward to it

PvP isn't for me so it's a no I guess. I generally like Bungie stuff, so it's a bit of a bummer

Makes sense to me. Live service games are as boring as hell.

I do lump D4 into that as well. There is basically no RPG in that click-fest

That being said, I really like the action adventure titles like Naughty Dog and GoW. No real RPG in those either, but the immersion is real

@saffeqwe I am new to FF, and I know how loved it is, so I went in hoping for something special. I just didn't get it. The combat was just too boring for me. The world is beautiful and the story OK, but it was all a bit of a drag.

For that reason I haven't bothered with Rebirth

I played some of the demo and could not vibe with the game mechanics at all. Oh well

I feel better about not getting Hogwarts earlier.

I'm waiting for FTP to release, but I'll probably play a bit. I enjoyed POE1 a fair bit

Glad about AC:S and Split Fiction. Playing through the latter with my wife and it's great

It looks like I'll Shadows in my future which is cool

I wish this genre did anything for me. I should probably invest a little more time in Rivals and see if it clicks. It’s super successful and the reviews are good.

Am I too old? Maybe if I wait longer things will improve

I am in for a new Switch but merely for the exclusives. PS5 is definitely my primary

There is no way this game will cover the insane hype over it. It’s absurd

Uncharted: Lost Legacy and Split Fiction

Both lots of fun so far

BG3 finally sold me on turn based combat, so I'll keep an eye on this one

Veilguard a little bit, but I think I'm about to bounce off that

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Great start to this one. Naughty Dog are great

Split Fiction with my wife and LOVING it

@tselliot Metacritic has it as 81 after he 75 reviews.

Opencritic is 81 average as well

No user scores yet

AC: Odyssey has been my favourite AC so far, so perhaps this one will be good to try out. I'll play as the stealth chick though. Not keen to tank AC.

/ no real Ubi problem for me, jus the openworld methodology is very samey

Click grifters are cringe hounds who add nothing to the conversation. I wish they would piss off

Hopefully the game is ok. I actually really enjoyed Outlaws so I have some hope for this one

Just played through the character creator in DA:V and I’m excited to begin. Damn you having a job!

Just watched the Skill Up preview from a month ago and so I’m not super excited

Just finished SW:Outlaws so perhaps I’m Ubi-outed for now

(Loved Outlaws though)

@HappyGamerGirl
Well, apart from the reason(s) not to

@Contimaloris

conceivably it is an incentive for PS Plus subscriptions

@Markatron84

Skillup's review was interesting. He loved the combat but thought the story/main quest was a bit rubbish. The whole RPG aspect sounds a bit weak TBH, which is weird, because Obsidian are typically very strong on this front

Nice one on DA: V. It was wish listed, so this is way better.

Can’t justify a Pro but may get one in the future

Not for Monster Hunter though. Just not my jam

Loved GoT. I felt like a sword fighting bad ass by the end. Loved Jin’s story

Grindy? A little but I completed almost all of it which is very rare for me. Hopefully a more refined but similar type of thing for GoY

I'm hour 40 into Outlaws and loving it. Somehow I'm not feeling too Ubisofted by this game. The writing, quest design and combat engine are really fun. Tons of mini-games which I'm enjoying as well. I'm trying to full-stealth and it is great. Great stuff
